Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2008, Pages 29-33 Synthesis and antidepressant activity of N-substituted imidazole-5-carboxamides in forced swimming test model Hadizadeh, F.ab, Hosseinzadeh, H.ab , Motamed-Shariaty, V.-S.b, Seifi, M.b, Kazemi, S.b a Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacy Faculty, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran b Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran View references (10) Abstract Moclobemide is a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase-A inhibitor, which is used as an antidepressant. Three moclobemide analogues were synthesized by replacing moclobemide phenyl ring with substituted imidazoles. So, N[(4-morpholinyl) ethyl)]-1-benzyl-2-(alkylthio) -1H-imidazole-5-carboxamides (7a-c) were synthesized and studied for the antidepressant activity using forced swimming test in mice. Analogues 7a-c were found to be more potent than moclobemide. Minimum effective doses for moclobemide and analogues 7a-c were found to be 20, 2.5, 1.25 and 2.5 mg/kg i.p. respectively.
